CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 468,844, dated `February 16, 1892. Application filed May 5, 1891- Serial No. 391,648. (No model.)

ble, and inexpensive, and effective in operationT The invention comprises the detail, construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, substantially as hereinafter fully set forth, and particularly pointed out in the claims. l

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front elevation of my improved churn. Fig. 2 is a plan View. Fig. 3 isavertical sectional view of the churn and its dasher.

' Referring to the drawings, A designates the stand or frame, which is preferably composed of two corresponding uprights a, having upper and lower horizontal arms a d2, the latter being connected together by cross-bars a3, forming a bearing for the churn-cylinder B. The upper horizontal arms a of these uprights are hinged or otherwise pivotally secured to the upper ends of the vertical portion, so that the arms a can be raised and lowered. Within cylinder B is located a vertical stationary post b, which is rigidly secured to the bottom thereof and extends up to within a short distance of the top, and its upper end is hollow and provided -with a recess h.

C is the dasher, which consists of a horizontal bar d, having depending arms d' at each end, and from bar d project upper and lower studs d2 cl3, the latter being designed to iit snug in the recessed or hollowed end of stationary post h, while stud cl2 is projected through an opening in the lid or cover. The

stud d2 has a tapering square hole or recess in its upper end designed to receive the lower tapering end of a short shaft e of a pinion E, loosely mounted by said shaft in a cross-bar e of frame A. A wheel or pinion F engages pinion E, and its shaft f is secured bya crossbarf of frame A, and to it may be applied a crank, or a belt may be employed for driving said wheel or pinion.

From the foregoing it will be seen that by turning wheel or pinion F motion will be imparted to the pinion E, and through the shaft of the latter the dasher will be made to revolve, the same being supported in the desired position by the central vertical stationary post of the churn.

My churn is extremely simple, and by means of the construction described inexpensive means are secured for supporting the dasher, so that the latter will always be inthe proper position for thoroughly acting on the contents of the cylinder.

I claim as my inventionl. The herein-described improved churn, comprising the cylinder having the rigid central vertical stationary post provided with an upper recessed or hollowed end and the dasher having-a stud projecting therefrom and resting in said recess or hollow-ed end, as set forth.

2. The herein described improved churn, comprising the frame, thecylinder having the rigid central vertical stationary post provided with an upper recessed end, the dasher having upper and lower studs, the latter one of which e-nters said recessed end, the pinion having a loosely-mounted shaft engaging the -upper stud of said dasher, the drive-wheel or pinion, and the cross-bars for said substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my sign atu re in presence of two witnesses.
